I have about twenty different tubes of mascara, and I keep coming back to this one. I need a major anti-smearing formulated mascara, but I also hate to use makeup remover, and this is my can't-live-without product. It makes my lashes longer, thicker, and lasts all day and night (even until the next morning), without ANY smearing. I would go crazy looking for a substitute if they ever stopped making this wonderful product.
